Paul Goble byl oceňovaný autor a ilustrátor dětských knih, jehož celoživotní fascinace indiány z Velkých planin, jimiž se inspiroval již od dětství, se odrazila v jeho díle. Jeho ilustrace s precizní přesností zachycují oděvy, zvyky a prostředí původních obyvatel v zářivých barvách a s neuvěřitelnými detaily. Goble čerpal z dávných příběhů a s citem k indiánskému způsobu života je přetlumočil pro mladé čtenáře. Jeho přístup kombinuje umělecké mistrovství s hlubokým respektem k tradicím a spiritualitě, což z jeho knih činí poutavé a poučné čtení.

"There was a girl in the village who loved horses... She led the horses to drink at the river. She spoke softly and they followed. People noticed that she understood horses in a special way."

Paul Goble tells how she eventually becomes one of them to forever run free.
